Synopsis

Orel is an 11-year-old boy who loves church. His unbridled enthusiasm for piousness and his misinterpretation of religious morals often lead to disastrous results, including self-mutilation and crack addiction. No matter how much trouble he gets into, his reverence always keeps him cheery.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
SeriouslyRed000 Let me start off by saying this show is not for everyone, I am sure it would offend a lot of people or just seem "too edgy" for others. The comedy of Moral Orel is basically satire on Christianity. Orel (our main character) is a Christian child trying to understand and follow the things that he hears from other Christians (his pastor, father, etc) to "be an even better Christian" but sadly he takes these things he learns the wrong way and everything goes downhill for not only Orel, but also the people of his town. Personally I really enjoyed the show for the first 2 seasons as I found the humour to be OK, but not as good as a show like "Rick and Morty". From that you may be confused as to why I gave this show a score of 10. Well, what really made me love this show is its third and final season. From what I know there was meant to be 5 seasons but the show got cancelled and only got 3, So I can only imagine how much better this shows final season could have gone if it got what was originally intended. The thing about season 3 is that it gets dark, really really dark. Like most comedy shows, while in the first two seasons the show plays everything off like a joke that will be forgotten by the next episode (especially in the first episode where certain impossible things happen) things all explode by the final season. A really impressive trait the show has is making you feel comfortable and safe from anything sad happening because of the way everything is originally played off as a joke, this only strengthens the final season as these serious dark thing come unexpectedly. I probably would have given this show a 8 or 9 out of 10 if it weren't for the final season taking an unexpected toll on my fragile heart ;) , now it is up there in my all time favourites. For anyone interested in watching this show just know while it looks like it, this isn't robot chicken kind of show or anything, I push you to keep going if the comedy is comes off weak because as I've stated it only gets better.
Doctor_Phil I was excited when I heard about this show--I grew up in a religious family, and I was looking forward to a little holy cow hamburger. Why hasn't anyone done this before? South Park can only do so much--they've got lots of other religions to puncture! If parody is like deer hunting, making fun of conservative Christianity is like cow hunting. I've got so many crazy stories that should be shared--the herbal store that got picketed because people assumed it must be for witches, the woman who got thrown out of Bible study for practicing yoga, the church that wouldn't pay their bill because "they were doing the Lord's work"--and I haven't even mentioned creationism or the Republican party.But Moral Orel (it should be Oral! Can't they even get that right?) is like a cow hunter that keeps coming home empty handed. I was stunned. How could they miss? How could they fail at making fun of conservative American Christianity? It was obvious the show's writers had never seen the inside of a church. They didn't know the things Christians do that are funny, so they made stuff up, and parodied their imaginary conception of Christians. But... that's not funny. Silly, yes, but not funny. It ain't parody if you just make it up. And with such an easy target. Watching it is like listening to somebody trying to make fun of Rush Limbaugh, only they've never heard his show.
mirosuionitsaki2 Moral Orel is a great parody of Davey and Goliath. Actually, it is the best. I'm sure it's not the only one because the internet and all. But anyways, this was a great show for my liking. It is actually like saying it's the softer side of Adult Swim, except it's still like the violent, offensive animated shows that Adult Swim hand-selected and airs.Moral Orel is always getting into trouble because he tried to follow God's rules and usually takes it literally. That causes him to get a spanking. That is basically the plot of the whole series, and I'm glad it's going to go for another season. I'm Catholic, but I'm still Christian but I don't find this show offensive. It could be offensive to other people since it shows the life of a stereotypical Protestant family which could get this show cancelled.Anyways, I thought this was a great show and I plan to watch more episodes of the animated series. Also, I might try to find a channel that airs Davey and Goliath or something and watch it. Just to see the difference from this show and Davey and Goliath.
vinmar I bought into the hype and watched Moral Orel when it first premiered. I was hoping for a good laugh--like with Family Guy, Aqua-Teen and countless other A.S. shows. Or I was hoping for some smart-writing, like the brilliant Boondocks. Instead, it's a 15 minute anti-Christian diatribe that gives new meaning to the word boring. South Park parodies right-wing Christians (and every other religion/group/demographic) in an intelligent way and South Park is something this show forgot to be: FUNNY. This is nothing but mean-sprited, axe-to-grind garbage. I am not a Christian, yet I don't understand why it's considered offensive to make fun of other religions (and rightly so), yet acceptable to make fun of Christianity just for the sake of doing so. There is a big difference between parody/satire and mean-spited bigotry. I'm sorry the writers hated their religious upbringing so much. But making claymation cartoons 20 years later is not going to help. Go seek therapy and get on with your life. Where's the 15-minute weekly show that depicts militant Islam and shows images of Mohammed? Oh that's right, that's offensive to Muslims. So nobody goes near it. Where is the weekly show that makes fun of a Jewish boy? Oh, that would be offensive to the Jews. So nobody goes near it. But it's open season on the always safe topic of Christians--again--and that's OK? Double-standard b.s. over and over again. .And once more, it's not even funny It's predictable, boring and you can see every attempt at humor coming a mile away. Yes, it's on late and no, nobody has to watch it. And based on how awful it is, eventually nobody will.
